Do you think that you will get what you deserve? Or that you deserved what you already got? The concepts of commerce and your justice system are deeply embedded in your thinking, and you can see causes and effects directly. But in the ultimate sense that really matters these concepts break down. For I make the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the righteous and the wicked, and both also suffer regardless of their righteousness of lack thereof. Don’t those who have received salvation acknowledge that it is a free gift? If you receive grace you are getting better than you deserve. Don’t resent it when others get better than they deserve too. 

God?

You know, I’m sitting here in front of my computer reflecting on a wonderful thing that has been happening to my email folder.  It’s receiving messages from people who’ve seen Angels and other things in the spirit.  Some they can explain and some they can't quite wrap their minds around.

Question: I have some problems with soaking. First of all, what is it exactly? Why would I want to do it, and how do you? I don’t even know how to slow down to receive from God, I just fall asleep! So for me soaking seems like a distant impossibility and doesn't even really make sense. Can you help?

Seeing in the Spirit has become a much more popular topic of conversation after great men like Michael Van Vlymen and Blake Healy have pioneered the trail by boldly sharing their experiences (you can find their amazing books here and

My word gives you a protocol for dealing with heretics. This is a last resort for those who will not stop teaching false doctrine. Do you ever want to apply this ultimate sanction against sinners? Yet the Bible makes a distinction between those who sin and those who propagate false teaching, since these are not the same things. Don’t you see me making the same distinction during my time of ministry on earth? Those who sin harm themselves but those who teach heresy harm many. Correction is required in both cases. You should not be eager to rush into this, but be eager to accept and restore those who repent.

In the beginning I told Adam that the ground was cursed for the sake of his disobedience and that he would have to toil to make it produce. You refer to this as the fall of man, and so you have to earn a living to this day. Do you see your job as an impediment to serving me? If you had more free time available would you use it for Christian ministry and service? For most people it is not the concept of work that bothers them, but the tasks available, the amount they pay, and who they work for. I want you to have a positive view of this rather than viewing it as an unpleasant necessity. You are working for me. Trust me to give you the right assignment and meet your needs.

Have you ever been defensive? In this condition you are ready to fight for something. You may think that being defensive is not as bad as being offensive, and that it is a normal reaction to offense, but it still closes you off to learning and growth. What do you have to defend? I am well prepared to defend the truth, and I can defend you better than you can defend yourself. In following my call to die to yourself you should release personal opinions and not defend them either. Are you amazed at my commandment that you resist not evil, but turn the other cheek? Those who do find that they have a strong defender, and position themselves to learn and grow. 

I love testimonies that break down the walls formulas attempt to build around our hearts.  Formulas bring turmoil and anxiety with them as we try and fit everything into neat little boxes.  I went through a season in my life where I tried to depend on formulas.  Sometimes they actually worked and it was great.  But the times they didn’t  and those were stressful times.
